Excellent watch, I'm very happy with it. A question, I did a 10x workout (400m / 1min rest), on the screen during the rest I can't see which lap I'm on, is there a way to adjust it? thanks
I have the 7x Solar and considering the 8.. but... unsure on Amoled or Solar again... I can't find anything about how long the amoled screen lasts... think I might just go solar again. Did you go solar?

Thank you for your question. Yes, I just set up one of my shortcut keys for voice notes. When I was in my workout, I pressed and held the shortcut key to bring up and record a voice note, then backed back out to the activity when I was done.
Please correct the bugs in the Fenix8.. Screen brightness in low light conditions makes my Fenix 8 51 Amoled completely UNUSABLE!!! Also the watch lags even in the watch face menu.. it’s a horrible experience, never had these issues with my Fenix7X or my EPIXPRO 51!!

Have you run a system update? I've had the Fenix 8 for about a week now, would perceive myself as a power user and since the update installed, noticed no issues nor lag.
i am just disappointed. The price is absurd, the new features are extremely niche. I have been waiting for the fenix 8 as i wanted to upgrade form my fenix 6 pro, but i cannot justify the 1200€ investment at all to myself. I would have been fine with a small increment upgrade for a little higher price, but what exactly does the 8 offer for 1100€+? Apart from better solar on the mip i cannot think of anything thats at all important to me. I might just have to move on from garmin after 6 years of daily tracking
I have bought this watch for 1200€ and this watch is probably 400€ worth. It's just has so many bugs, errors and lag.. Garmin has released a product that is not ready.
No bugs here. 51mm version. Charged mine for the first time today since launch, and yes i have used the watch and flashlight function at night. No watch on the market comes even close to this.
@@lauandersen1 I'm happy for u. It's the otherway around for me. I'm leaving Garmin. I can't even see the data on the screen by nightfall.. Simply bc it's too dark. Need a watch with more nits. My watch is crashing so many times it's just crazy..
For sure. I don’t know how they can justify that price tag. Especially with the new Apple Watches being much cheaper and arguably better in almost every way.
@@kjhman LMAO my diving friend are all complaining that they needed to pay a subscription to use the dive app that is already in the apple watch ultra. Everyone i know who came from garmin also complained the apple watch ultra battery life is shit. you really sure its an upgrade all around?
@@admiraljamster Thats why worded my comment very carefully. I said its ARGUABLY better in ALMOST every way. I have a 7x and an ultra and there are a ton of things that Apple watch does better than my garmin, but there are a few things better about the garmin.
New UI is fantastic. I was hesitant at first however after using for a while it really is an upgrade over the 7.
Coming from the Fenix 6 sapphire. Worth the upgrade. Great display and UI usability.
For the red/orange/green shift, why not add other colors like blue, purple, gray, or any available color in updates for current and new watches?
That's what I want also
Really good video. Thanks for taking the time to explain some of the new settings and features.
Thank Super-Jenifer! The best video about the 8 Ive found! Hope to get mine solar soon to test all the new featres. Thank you
Excellent watch, I'm very happy with it.
A question, I did a 10x workout (400m / 1min rest), on the screen during the rest I can't see which lap I'm on, is there a way to adjust it? thanks
amazing watch, got the 7X but the 8 is far beyond my expectations ...it's a change
I have the 7x Solar and considering the 8.. but... unsure on Amoled or Solar again... I can't find anything about how long the amoled screen lasts... think I might just go solar again. Did you go solar?
Turn by turn navigation with a sound warning is not yet available?
I cannot find the setting either
How long battery life is everyone getting with ghe amoled display?
Can I respond to a text message with my voice? All I am finding is responding with already created text responses.

Answers are pre-programmed into the watch. You can manually write your own text as a pre-programmed message but only when ur using Android.
Is it possible to set a shortcut for always on display?. Thanx!
Thank you for your question. No, "always-on display" is not a shortcut option.
Thanks for the video Garmin! Now that I've spent $1200 can I please get a good coupon code for the Titanium Dive band? $300 is way too much!
I cant activate audio prompts while navigating. As soon as i turn it on it switches back to of. It must be a bugg.

Can you make voice note while
Running?
Thank you for your question. Yes, I just set up one of my shortcut keys for voice notes. When I was in my workout, I pressed and held the shortcut key to bring up and record a voice note, then backed back out to the activity when I was done.
If i'm in running an activity, like bike riding, and want to get back to the watchface how would i do that?
Set watch face as a hotkey
@@basketballer852 And then u get a freeze watchface.. I tried that already. It's now set to return to menu and that works..
I set hotkey BACK + LIGHT buttons to watch face. That way it was similar to previous garmins, just gotta hold one extra button.

I have no problem in low light or total dark. Best fenix very responsive, and extremely good battery life.

i got the watch yesterday, so far haven't had any bugs. But it looks like they are update focused which is great.

@@Five7weezy Still nothing found? Because people having like 10-15 errors on the watch. Just look at the Garmin forum.
@@Tha-King-Arthur Get a replacement
Too expensive
For sure. I don’t know how they can justify that price tag. Especially with the new Apple Watches being much cheaper and arguably better in almost every way.

Then buy an apple then. Do what is best for you
Ridiculous price increase for barley any substantial changes
